[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mrktmind:
Got the US 5.0 and bought one for my son as well. I bought his a couple of days after Xmas and Best Buy was sold out of them in three different stores - bought the last one at the fourth store. So it must be a fair sales performer.

It sure would be nice to get some ROM's for this. CyanogenMod would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
AOSP bringups are tough - although a deodex job shouldn't be hard.

I'm more of a hardware/kernel guy than a userspace guy. Even extended power menu mods aren't easy for me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Turns out the US 5.0 variant has the MC1N2, not the WM8994. :(

Actually, looks like both 5.0 variants...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] WT Ho:
It was a big let down for me to find out that it has a Yamaha DAC instead of the Wolfson. The only possible tweak seems to be a fix called Voodoo LOUDER fix by supercurio, but the fix is not ported to Galaxy Player yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Entropy512:
Voodoo LOUDER only gets you 6 dB volume.

Considering that with my earbuds, half volume on media player + half volume of the earbud volume control is damn loud, no real need for that.

YP-G70CW/WON in Peru
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] TiMthisIS:
The one I got off the US website Woot.com is a an international YP-G70CW/TTT

I fully bricked it. It's soft bricked now due to Android booting errors and I can't find an original Froyo 2.2.2 pit file to back track out of the bad GB update. The rom offered in one thread does not repartition successfully in Odin so I assume the file is not there.

I'm looking to manually fix the offending partitions if I could figure out what they were.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] dunca123:
My week just got a bit better. Soooo much more development is going on for this player! You made an excellent choice. I am looking forward to more of your work. I never realized you didn't even have a player. I use your kernel, and enjoy it quite a bit. Thank you for all of your work and am looking forward to more.

Wow just saw how old this post is... Well thank you for tour kernel lol
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] p34c3m4k3r:
Same here, bro.

:cool:

PS: Except for the fact that mine is bricked. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] CreekDirt:
I just got the U.S. 5.0 version this weekend. It is a great addition to my Note.

The only downfall that I can see is that it is too touch sensitive. When I am scrolling it often makes a selection without me intending it to.

[Xperia Play General] Geeve:
Don't "play" with your phone if you don't know what you are doing!
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Did you pull out the battery? My PLAY didn't respond before until I pulled the battery. Happened from installing an incorrect kernel.
[Xperia Play General] abdourealcf:
yes i did pull out my battery.....and still nothing!!!!

when i press the on button the phone vibrate and screen stays black!!!

i still can't get to fastboot mode nor flash mode!!!!

help pleeeeeeeeeease!!!!!
[Xperia Play General] Hogwarts:
that is not going to help OP

dont post spam please unless it's helping

How would you like to be asking for help and have a rude reply when your expensive phone isnt working

Just treat other as you want to be treated
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
build a house with that brick
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
The fact that your phone vibrates when you push the power button means it may not be dead yet...

Pull out the battery and re-insert it, but don't press the power button. Hold down the search button and connect the usb plug to see if fastboot mode starts up.
[Xperia Play General] abdourealcf:
i just did this a few seconds befor your post and succeeded to put the phone in flash mode then flashed with flashtool and my play is back again:D!!!

thanks man!
[Xperia Play General] hairdewx:
Good to know you were able to save your phone :D
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
If you read the output, you have a bad block in boot partition, so doomlords kernel is too big now, your stuck with stock kernel.
[Xperia Play General] abdourealcf:
i'll keep it in mind!
[Xperia Play General] Mael5trom:
I've often had bad block encountered error messeges when things have not gone well, but i've never had anything actually stuff up permanently, despite the rom being damaged being the logical conclusion from that error, u can always try other versions of the kernel or another version of fastboot tool, either might fix your problem... hell, it might just not like that particular kernel for some reason, similar things happened on my old phone but there was never anything wrong with it, even 6 months later, so dont give up just yet.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Kayak83:
Can someone link me to a basic USB driver for the Inc2? I don't want HTC Sync on my computer.

EDIT: Nevermind.
[General Questions and Answers] jammin1911:
I'm not sure if this exists, but I thought I'd ask.

I've been using a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate (and loved it) up until about 1 month ago, when I got sick and tired of 30-35 effective WPM on the touchscreen keyboard and switched back to my old first generation Blackberry Bold. Believe it or not, the relief of going back to the blackberry was HUGE even while sacrificing all of the obvious advantages of Android. Touchscreen keyboards just arent for me. I spent nearly a year hoping I would get better at it, and I'm not particularly bad, but I'm just quite quick on a hardware keyboard (65-75wpm) and that is hard to ignore. I do a lot of typing (emails for work and also fairly heavy SMS user ~6000 in+out per month).

So to the point, can anyone recommend a phone for me? I've tried the landscape style hardware keyboards and I am not a fan unfortunately, because I think there are a couple of those to choose from.

Any portrait hardware keyboards? Blackberry style? It would need to be a slider of course to avoid having a tiny screen.. still looking for a ~4"+ screen.

Thanks <3
[General Questions and Answers] TheContinental:
HTC makes the T-Mobile Dash and the Ozone with portrait hardware keyboards, and 12 other phones with the more popular landscape slider keyboards and the big screens. It's gonna be tough to get a 4" wide screen with a portrait keyboard. That would be one big phone!

Happy shopping!
[General Questions and Answers] jammin1911:
for the 4" I was thinking more like the Blackberry Torch slider style to avoid the phone being huge :)

Thanks for the input!

//EDIT// I would LOVE to see a phone that is basically what Motorola is showing off right now, the Droid 4 with slideout qwerty keyboard, except for it to slide up and down instead of requiring i turn the phone sideways to use it (aside from these keyboard being too wide to type comfortably on, using an android phone sideways in most cases is pretty obnoxious).
[General Questions and Answers] MO3iusONE:
Have you checked out the DROID pro? I know it's a little old now but I owned this phone and I loved it, my first smartphone was a treo and that's all I've been use to. I don't care what anyone says, physical keys especially portrait style keyboard is so much netter then landscape
[General Questions and Answers] jammin1911:
I couldn't agree with you more. That is a pretty wicked phone and that's exactly what I want but with a current generation OS and specs :D
[General Questions and Answers] jago25_98:
I have a i9000 and a Droid Pro to replace it on the way.

But I think it will be too slow.

How's about the LG Optimus Pro
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Aahz Pervect:
I didn't realize that you had posted in the Kindle Fire forums so please forgive my re-post:

This works quite well on the Kindle Fire with CM7. (I've used both v4 and v5 of the script without issue)

Is there a technical reason for using Ubuntu 10.x over 11.x?

I only ask as there are ARM/OMAP3/OMAP4/etc. builds of both 11.04 and 11.10. (netbook and desktop flavors)

I'm guessing that it's a resource thing as I would hope that Unity would work well with at least tablets if not decently sized mobile phones.

Oh well, just picking brains. Love your work!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Quite alright only just posted.

When I built images from 11.04 and .10 there where a whole host of UI issues, that no one seemed to be able to fix so I rolled back to the newest base that had no issues. Once I have done some more work to the app and my backtrack build I will look at a newer build (or might wait for 12.04)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krion64:
Sorry if this sounds stupid, but which resolution size would be best for ease of use? I'm assuming higher would be easier to use and look better and lower would be harder to use and look worse?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
The best would be the one that matches you screens resulition which in this case is 1024x600
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krion64:
Many thanks.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] krion64:
Doesn't work on CM7 with firmware 6.2.1 with Root and Busybox installed

Errors when trying to execute ubuntu.sh are

-Whole bunch of missing directories that can't be mounted

-Some directories can't be created because others don't exist

-Can't create directory '/data/local/mnt': File exists

-Loop device exists

-losetup: /dev/block/loop255 on /data/local/mnt failed: Invalid argument

-losetup: /dev/block/lopp255: No such device or address

Edit: I'm using the 1024x600 image and version 5 of the terminal script
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Aahz Pervect:
I noticed that on CM7 Busybox doesn't play nice with USB data connections. So much so that I have to reboot the device before it'll make the connection once I've run Ubuntu.

Also, and why I mention it, if you have the data cable connected (showing as a device on the PC or not) and try to run the ubuntu.sh it tends to not work.

edit: Don't want to wrongfully accuse Busybox if that's not the problem but once the terminal emu runs the ubuntu.sh then I can no longer make the USB data connection without rebooting the device. (does it with both v4 and v5 of the script)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Yes this is to do with ubuntu not shutting down correctly, and will hopefully be fixed once I have worked out all the bugs in shutting it down
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Ok new paid app has been uploaded the change log is:

*PAID app file downloads now use new fast FTP server and support direct downloading (click the button to download a image and it starts to download right away)

*New boot script which has fixed problems with it not booting on alot of devices, and fixed problem which some people getting a grey screen when loading UI

*Boot script now downloaded in zip file to fix problems with downloading script

*Both apps fixed to support low resolutions

*Both apps cleaned up

Because the FTP server costs me money to run these fast download links will only be available in the paid app. As I will only be uploading the 800x480 images to multiupload in the future (to be included in the free app) the images in the first post will stay at V4 (apart from the 800x480) thus if you have a device that has a different screen rez and want to keep up-to-date with image updates now is a good time to invest in the paid app :).

The paid app will also be getting alot more work in the close future to make the install process even easier (to hopefully the point of just downloading and pressing a button to boot) some of which will likely not make it to the free version, I am doing this to try and give the paid version more 'buying appeal'...I am after all a poor student and need money to eat and drink :P :D

Ramble over, but the future is bright..the future is linux on android :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
The backtrack install guide has been updated to include the new boot script and downloading from the ftp server, plus everything else to bring it in line with the ubuntu guide.

For those that want the Gnome interface, or to try out all the security programs included in backtrack, or just want to try a different linux distro check it out!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421833
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Little update ,the next release while I am working on the automation, and fixing last boot programs will included fixed java etc, with completely new build images (did try building 11.10 but still getting the GUI errors so will hold out for 12.04), and allow you to switch between Gnome and LXDE and also allow you to decide the screen size on boot. Means much less for me to upload and far easier method than opening the init script and editing it.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Rypac:
This looks great zac! As soon as I receive my Fire I'll be happy to test for you.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Glad to hear it :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Ok a new test image is ready for download.

This is a updated large image (~3.5GB extracted) with the following updates:

Boot process now asks you for what screen size you want (type in the format 800x480 for example)

Boot process now lets you select what desktop enviroment you want to use (Gnome and LXDE included to start with more to come!)

Image has been recompiled to fix java and other programs

Image has been compressed using a different programs to fix errors when uncompressed in linux

note: this image works fine with the V5 script!

please test and let me know how it goes! if everything works I will update the paid app with a fast link tomorrow!

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Aahz Pervect:
I know that distro upgrades are a no-no but what about general package updates? Do they stick and will they break things? (I ask as I'm updating them anyways :p)

edit: Actually if you could comment on persistence in general that would be great as I'm wondering if things can be added/removed or rather how the images work in general. Are they akin to Live images with some space for persistence? (I'm guessing yes as settings do save)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
You can do normal updates to packages yes, its only the updating distro that brakes stuff, as things have been changed to the core of ubuntu to get it to boot as it is.

Everything you change will persist, see it as a virtual machine over a live image, within the img file is the complete OS as if the img file is a hard drive etc. This is then mounted and booted into

Sopa strike

Tomorrow as im sure you all know XDA will be having a 12 hour black out and all of tomorrow my sites will be blacked out and I will not be doing any work on my linux projects in protest, if the SOPA and PIPA bills are past then it will be the end of freedom of speech and the internet as we know it.

This would put a hell of a lot of pressure on developers to keep within the 'laws', its very likely this site would face alot of pressure to shut down most of this forum if not the lot.

Thank you all, and I hope you also support the movement! for more information check this site

http://fightforthefuture.org/pipa
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] joda08:
totally 100% on board for the opposition of SOPA.

Also wanted to tell you tied this on my Kindle fire running CM7 and it runs great! i set the screen resolution to 1024x565 because the CM7 soft buttons were there. kinda like to keep them but that could just be my personal preference.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] joda08:
tested it on Miui for kindle fire. works even better because of how the software buttons are handled.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Jessical:
Looking good here, using the lightweight version. Add me to the testers list. :D Unity will be great on it once you work on the next release.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Qwertyua:
usb is supported?

ps: from usb-flash to /sdcard...
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
USB mouse and keyboard work and flash drive could work but you would need to mount it, over the weekend I plan to make up a list of mount points for as many devices I can so that everything can be mounted
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
The new update for the paid version has now been pushed to the marketplace!

I have also started a source forge project for this project, which can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxonandroid/ I am still setting it up but I will host the files for the free app here and the source code for the boot script init.sh. We can also then make use of the sites wiki and bug tracker to make it easier for me to handle the bugs that are found.

My next job will be to update the small image, and then I will be doing some more work on the boot script, my aim will be to make it so it doesn't matter where the script and image are it will still boot.

I also want to script to be able to work out what mount points a device has so it can mount both internal and external storage, but for this I need you help!

I need everyone to post the mount points for different storages for example on my archos 101 the internal storage is mounted at /sdcard and the external is /sdcard/externalsd.

Once I have a large list I can make the script look for all of these and mount what a device has.

Thank you all

What's this like for the touchpad
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] psomero:
i got the v5 light ubuntu running on my rppted KF r unning the 2/9 zone cm9 beta rom. it boots up and will run, but i can't get some programs to run in ubuntu.

my sd-ext partition got kiled when i did a factory reset recently and i haven't fixed it yet. i get an eror when i run the ubuntu shell script which says it can't mount ./sdcard/external-sd.

does anybody know what i need to do to fix sd-ext?

update:

I wound up making a directory on the sdcard called external-sd and it'll at least mount now, but it's not a real sd-ext.

, the sdcard is mapped to

/sdcard

and the external sd is mapped to

/sd-ext

by default I believe.

update 2: I've been using 1024x550 resolution to keep the CM9 status bar so I have softkeys to get in/out of the VNC session. The native KF screen res is 1024x600.

Question: Is there a way to hard code the resolution choice into the ubuntu.sh or init.sh scripts? I am not familiar enough with sh or bash scripting to know how to properly set the variable (or what the proper terminology would be even)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] johnwayne007:
I'll give this a try tonight, and post how it goes. Looks promising!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] askbahar:

A quick question, is it possible to dual boot in kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Drop me a PM with your email address and I will add you to the list,

as far as proper dual booting goes you will have to talk to the kindle fire devs, my method simply runs ubuntu in andorid making it pretty much universal while dual booting would be very much device specific
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
Well after much posting saying that I will be building new images, and nothing happening for a while, the day has come.

In the past I have built my images from 10.10 and people have asked why I havn't updated this was because I was waiting for a buildable version of 12.04, which I have finally got working.

These images are purely for TESTING and in no way stable (after all 12.04 is only alpha 2 right now!) but I will be uploading images to source forge for you all to test if you wish.

New releases will be made to follow the releases of milestone versions of main Ubuntu (i.e alpha, beta etc) and possibly other releases between then as I make changes reading the build as a final build once the final official version is released. Until the final release if you wish something that is stable please stick to my 10.10 images, however the 10.10 images will no longer be updated. Before you post a bug please check on the Ubuntu bugs to see if it is something Ubuntu related and not related to just my build.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Alpha2

There will be two types of build 'core' and 'full'.

The 'core' images include only the most basic Ubuntu build with no GUI (however tightvncserver is set up if you wish to install one).

This is perfect if you do not want a GUI or want to install everything yourself, plus the download is much smaller

The 'full' images include a GUI and a range of programs, for now these images are like the old 'lightweight' images.

But once we hit stable release I will build a larger image with the complete range of software.

The first core image is now live with a full image coming hopefully tomorrow!

For now enjoy :)

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] raiderep:
So this worked for me and I am impressed. I would like ubuntu 10.04 on it if possible. I downloaded the small version from inside the free app. If I buy the app can I choose older versions or is that what backtrack is for? I am using it with the modaco Rom which is stock 6.2.2

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] devwithzachary:
No sorry I only have 10.10 builds, well and have now started on 12.04 builds but I do not have time to maintain builds for other versions of ubuntu

The first of my full 12.04 test images is now being uploaded and will be ready within the hour.

This image is:

*Using LXDE for now due to problems with unity

*Chromium is included as browser but has problems displaying anything (will fix for next release)

*As this is the first release there are a whole host of issues please email me issues (zac@zpwebsites.com) if they are not already reported in mainstream ubuntu 12.04

As always these are test images so they are very unstable!
